What is Urinary Catheterisation? Medical procedure used to drain and collect urine from the bladder. A thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted into the bladder through the urethral meatus (urethral opening). The catheter allows urine to flow through urethral opening into a drainage bag or receptacle. Urinary catheter can be used on a short or long term basis. Short-term catheterisation may be needed to remove urine from the bladder for a short period of time if there is something stopping you emptying your bladder normally. Long-term catheterisation may be needed for a long time if...

Although intermittent catheterization is the preferred catheterization method for ensuring bladder emptying, complications and adverse events can arise, especially in patients performing intermittent self-catheterization long-term. These include: • Bleeding • Urethritis (urethral inflammation) • Stricture (narrowing of a section of the urethra causing blockage/reduced flow) • Creation of a false passage (caused by forced catheterisation and poorly lubricated/positioned catheters • Epididymitis (inflammation of epididymis and testes) • UTIs (Urinary tract infections) • General...

To prevent some of the issues associated with self-catheterisation, the following can be used: ■ Adherence to basic daily prevention habits/hygiene practices may help avoid UTIs ■ Adequate education & patient compliance ■ Use of appropriate catheter type and material ■ Use of lubricated catheters which reduce friction and minimalize discomfort

Hydrophilic ■ Catheters are coated in an agent which becomes active once in contact with water. ■ Often a pouch of sterile water is supplied with the catheter. ■ Can be messy and sterility is likely to be compromised when applying the water. Self Applied Lubricant ■ Lubricant is applied manually from a sachet/tube. ■ Can be messy and sterility is likely to be compromised when applying the lubricant. ■ Some oil based lubricants can stain.
